The Singapore Sling is one of the essential cocktails of 1900. Born as a simple pink cocktail for the ladies, it quickly became a trendy cocktail. The British gentlemen of Singaporean society all wanted a sip at the same time.

The creator of the Singapore Sling is the legendary bartender Ngiam Tong Boon, bartender of the Raffles Hotel in Singapore, whose museum still preserves the book with the original cocktail recipe.

Add a trip here to the 99 things to do before you die.

But that’s enough with the story; let’s go to the fundamental question: why is this drink so special? Why has it become one of the most famous cocktails of all time?

The answer is simple: the Singapore Sling has a unique flavor that is complex, full of aromas and nuances, but at the same time is fresh and dry, with outstanding drinkability.

And despite having a high alcohol content, while you drink it, you will feel nothing but a soft, velvety caress on the palate.

That said, let’s go to the original Singapore Sling recipe and be very careful because the ingredients are many, and you have to be careful to recreate the delicate balance of sharp, herbaceous, and sweet flavors.

But don’t worry; Nick, our naked bartender, will guide you step by step in the preparation of this exquisite drink.

Singapore Sling cocktail ingredients and doses

  • 3 cl of gin
  • 1.5 cl of apricot brandy
  • 0.75 of triple sec
  • 0,75 of DOM Benedictine
  • 12 cl of pineapple juice
  • 1.5 of lemon juice
  • 1 cl grenadine
  • 1 drop of Angostura

How to prepare the Singapore Sling cocktail

The preparation itself is not complicated, but be careful to respect the doses once again.

Squeeze the lemon and strain the juice. Use a juice extractor to make pineapple juice; never buy industrial juices. Also, at home, you deserve the best.

Put the ice in the shaker and add the juices. Pour the gin, triple sec, apricot brandy, DOM Benedictine, and Angostura.

Add a touch of color with a dash of grenadine.
